Damnit.

I was hoping they will PSNID-lock them.

This way it opens the Pandora's Box of 100% save files for interwebs usage.

But whatever.

You can choose to turn off your speedometer and leave the other stuff (like time) or turn everything completely off.

That's a bit of a strange decision to only separate out the speedo. I was hoping to remove that useless racers list. Oh well, HUD on for me at the moment still.

This patch is a great sign for the future of GT5. Fuck all the patch haters, this is the reason why having online functionality this generation freaking owns. :D

I do wonder if they have made performance improvements to the engine.

Performance enhancements to GT5P's engine happened in pretty much every update.

More money!! Woot. Maybe online racing is where the XP bump will come in. Would make sense to me. You gain way more real life XP racing online than against the zombie horde that is GT AI.

Even if this patch doesn't "fix" every thing it is a tremendous step forward. It signifies that A) GT5 is going to continue to evolve, and hopefully in a timely manner to make up for delaygate. B) The updates are coming from the community. These two points have significantly renewed my faith in GT5 achieving the level I thought it could over the next year.

Once premium DLC starts to drop I will lose my shit.

Yeah the ability to separately turn off parts of the Hud would be great.

I want to turn off:

Driver list
Best lap time (Save that for the end result or something it's giving my LCD a temporary, but annoying image retention)
Turbo meter
Total race time (Make it flash every lap or something)

This game just keeps getting better and better.

Somehow I get the feeling that GT5 is just the platform on which they are going to continue to update until they finally reach a point where they are ready to do a GT6.

You can restart a race directly after quitting it (without having to load the event again).

Confirmed for B-sec at least.

BTW I really hope that the save file copying doesn't allow people to get 100% save files over the web because that would be totally lame.

Best news for a grinder like me.

Has anyone else noticed you can now repeat race events without having to exit out and then go back in. Soon as you've finished you can hit restart to do it straight away again.

DO NOT DO THIS !!! I just copied my save data from my main account onto my friends account on the same ps and it copied but when you load the game it says you can not use someone elses saved file a new one will be created for you and you lose EVERYTHING !!

So much for cheating.

As long as it doesn't give trophies I could give a toss. If someone has 5% trophies and a 100% save file, you will know they are an easy target online and probably a shitty driver. There aren't hidden mega cars in the game that are going to allow them to "blow away" the online competition. The good online races are the restricted ones anyway. I don't see how someone else downloading is too big a problem. I will be pissed if it instantly platinums their account. That would devalue you my "work".

Fantastic. I wish all games follow suit - lock PSN game saves to PSN ID. That why there is absolutely no way to copy game saves and use them else where.

Online race rewards and experience confirmed! Seasonal Events are PD made events that have specific race requirements and you'll also earn rewards and experience for that.

It seems like this has been voided anyway, but why would you care? I oculdn't care less if someone downloaded a 100% save, it matters even less for this edition of GT since there seems to be very little content that is locked, grinding will get you almost everything in the game.

Online Collector's Dealership is basically the rare cars you need for the game, without having to "grind" the day progress trick to get them to appear.

Some trucks, some DTM cars and the Polyphony F1 are among them.
